Free pattern: Perfect for Work (or going out) dress

Deby from So Sew Easy shares a free pattern for her Perfect for Work dress. Depending on fabric choice and how you accessorize, this could also be a Perfect for Date Night or Perfect for Special Occasion dress. I’m adding this to my Must Sew List! She designed it as a figure hugging dress, but you could also cut it a little bigger if you wanted a looser fit. Her free pattern comes in sizes to fit 29″ – 41″ bust and 33″ – 45″ hips.
